1) A population of genetically modified

1 answer:

7 0

This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.

So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.

There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.

Answer:

a) $p_A$ represent the real population proportion for women

$\hat p_A =\frac{123}{150}=0.82$ represent the estimated proportion for women

$n_A=150$ is the sample size selected for women

b) $p_B$ represent the real population proportion for male

$\hat p_B =\frac{102}{170}=0.6$ represent the estimated proportion for male

$n_B=170$ is the sample size selected for male

c) $(0.82-0.6) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.124$

$(0.82-0.6) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.316$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.124;0.316).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.124 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.316$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

$p_A$ represent the real population proportion for women

$\hat p_A =\frac{123}{150}=0.82$ represent the estimated proportion for women

$n_A=150$ is the sample size selected for women

Part b

$p_B$ represent the real population proportion for male

$\hat p_B =\frac{102}{170}=0.6$ represent the estimated proportion for male

$n_B=170$ is the sample size elected for male

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

Part c

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$(0.82-0.6) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.124$

$(0.82-0.6) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.316$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.124;0.316).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.124 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.316$

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 10% of 340.00 which is 28, so each week he saves 28.00 for his bike. To find how many paychecks he has to recieve you divide 340.00 by 28.00, which is 12.1, since there is a decimal place you have to round it up to 13 because it is a little bit more than 12 paychecks. ;)

Can someone please help me with this geometry question

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A. q = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel, their sides will be proportional,

So,

Taking their proportion

=> $\frac{60}{40} = \frac{q}{26}$

Cross Multiplying

q × 40 = 26 × 60

q = $\frac{1560}{40}$

q = 39
